The spring update has a new control panel thing with audio output stuff, checked that thing?

Right click the volume thing in windows and click audio settings and then click the additional sound setting thing, called app volume or something?

It lets you pick the output device, could be the issue.

EDIT: If you right click the volume icon again and click the top option, can you see game in that list and see that it is making sound?

I just tried that but no luck. I fired up a game, checked the sound settings, saw the game but the gauge wasn't moving. I even went to the store page ofa game in the Steam client and played the video. The audio from the video came up and could see the volume level moving but the game still didn't make a peep.

lots had microphone issues with the new update but not audio, still this migh help: https://superuser.com/questions/1291985/microphone-not-working-on-windows-10-version-1803/1291986#1291986

This didn't work.

So what I found was that is not a Steam issue but perhaps a sound API issue. I ran all of my installed games and some games have audio and some don't. I have Slain on both Steam and GOG and in both platforms there's no sound. Perhaps is a DirectX thing. Now to figure this out. Thanks for the help.

That's real odd.. I would google around if I were you.
If you solve it then update the thread so others might find it also

maybe try this? https://wiretuts.com/how-to-fix-no-sound-problem-in-steam-games/

Yeah, this mught be an issue with a Steam update as this same problem is just happening to me. I've reinstalled and updatred my drivers, turned everything to max, verifyed the game files, but nothing. The weird thing is if I go to the in-game browser the audio is fine... If you find a solution i would like to know :)

So I fixed it by doing a System Restore. I went to settings, update & security, Recovery and selected "go back to previous version". That put my PC to the version before the April 2018 update. Its all good now. Defenitely Microsoft messed up.

Nice. Yes the last big update definately increased my crashing from once every 2 weeks to up to 3 times a day!

Thanks so much!!! Do you play TF2 I can give you some ref or something thanks so much!!!

I return to the previous version of Windows 10 and it solved the issue. Thank you

hello, random idiot here. on my computer in the "update and recovery" screen, i don't see the "go back a previous version" button. all i see is this, copied and pasted exactly:


if your PC isn't running well, resetting it might help. This lets you choose to keep your personal files or Remove them, and then reinstall windows.
[GET STARTED]



Start up from a device or disc (such as USB drive or DVD). change your PC's firmware settings, change windows startup settings, or restore windoes from a system image. this will restart your PC.
[RESTART NOW]


Learn how to start fresh with a clean installation of windows


[YADDA YADDA ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ THATS NOT HELPING SITUATION]

Check back up settings





that is literally what my Recovery settings screen looks like, that button is nowhere to be found. where do it go now?

SAME been terying a lot since i downloaded soulcalibur 6 everything else works fine im dying i might have to refund the game

i recently found out that its a window update and you only have 10 days to revert it to previous version as soon as the update came out.

the update was in april. we are many months late.

so what does this mean? are we just sitting ducks now? must we wait for the next update to come along?
